"The pack is under attack. We need to move. Now." He says in a rush.

"Will we get there in time? It's not exactly right around the corner. We might get there and..."

"All the more reason to leave now. Now, let's go. We can't waste any more time."

Bang Chan takes my hand, and we rush as fast as we can back to the packhouse. The entry hall to Bang Chan's estate is a scene of chaos and carnage.

"No..."

A handful of wolves lie brutally wounded at the base of the main stairs, liquid crimson pooling beneath them.

"My God..." I look around in horror.

"So kind of you to join us, (Y/N)."

Hyunjin stands at the top of the stairs, leering down at me.

"I started the party without you. Hope you don't mind."

Raising his fist, I see he's clutching someone by the hair: Felix. It's clear from the numerous wounds dotting his body that he's on his last legs.

"Hyunjin! Let Felix go right now!" I shout in anger.

"But we're just getting started. You're no fun." Hyunjin chuckles sarcastically.

"Let him go and I might not kill you." I threat.

"And let him miss out on all I have planned?"

"Shut up and fight me, Hyunjin."

Felix does his best to land a blow on Hyunjin.

"Want to get right to it? Fine."

Hyunjin moves with blistering speed, meeting Felix's charge and hitting him hard in the side. A sickening crack sounds out as my friend drops to the ground.

"Felix!"

"Your bastard!"

Bang Chan charges forward, but two wolves move to block his path. Snarling, Bang Chan fights to get past the two wolves , but he isn't capable.

"I'm going to enjoy this."

Hyunjin slams Felix up against the window, cracking the glass with the force of his thrust.

"(Y/N)..."

Felix struggles under Hyunjin's firm grip. Then, Hyunjin raises a hand, grasping a broken shard of glass.

"No! Felix!"

I charge forward, letting my rage and adrenaline take hold before giving over to them entirely. I shift in a brilliant display of fur and fangs as I slam into Hyunjin full force. With a mighty snap of my jaw, I dig my fangs into Hyunjin's shoulder, tasting blood as I break his skin. Hyunjin drops Felix. He scrambles to his feet, moving forward to help me.

"No. Get out of here. You're too hurt."

While I can't speak those words in this form, the flash of determination in my lupine eyes says it all.

"Fine, but if things change, I'm coming back for you. Thanks, (Y/N)." Felix runs.

With a burst of strength, Hyunjin throws me backwards, rising to his feet with a hideous snarl.

"Not a bad hit, girlie. Maybe you'll prove yourself a good match for me yet."

I shift back, meeting Hyunjin's furious glare.

"Not if I tear you apart first."

Before I can say anything else, another cry of pain echoes through the entry hall.
